KoKo Coffee
KoKo Coffee was founded by Daud Kyarizov, an immigrant from Turkmenistan, who opened the first location in Boston in 2022 after noticing during the pandemic that coffee ordered through delivery apps rarely matched the quality of a drink made fresh in front of a customer at a real café counter. The company built a menu drawing on Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Central Asian influences, distinguishing it from typical American coffee shop fare, and it has grown into a small multi-location Boston chain alongside a mobile coffee cart division and corporate café service offerings. KoKo Coffee's expansion into Boston's North Station area, adding to existing locations along the waterfront and in South Boston, reflected the company's steady growth from a single pandemic-era café concept into a recognized local specialty coffee brand. KoKo Coffee's combination of Kyarizov's immigrant founding story and its distinctive Central Asian and Mediterranean-influenced menu has made it one of the more distinctive coffee brands named Koko in the country.

Koko Wings
Koko Wings operates on Manhattan's Upper West Side, at 248 W 106th Street, specializing in Korean-style fried chicken wings that are double-fried and hand-battered, a technique aimed at keeping the chicken crispy and juicy while staying comparatively light on oil. The restaurant's signature preparations include a half-and-half order splitting wings between soy garlic and spicy sauce, letting diners sample both of the restaurant's core flavor profiles in a single order rather than committing to just one. Beyond its wings, Koko Wings serves a broader menu of Korean bar-food staples, including seasoned and sweet potato fries, rice cakes, a bulgogi bowl with egg, and truffle fries, positioning the restaurant as a fuller Korean comfort-food destination rather than a wings-only specialist. Koko Wings's combination of its double-fried, hand-battered Korean fried chicken technique and its broader Korean bar-food menu has made it a well-reviewed neighborhood destination on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
